ORU up 2, :14 left. ORU ball.

Hahn with 35 points!

Re: Summit MBB 2018-19 conference

Two entertaining games that will impact the top 4 seeds going right now, both on ESPN or Midco.

ORU is hanging in there in spite of Hahn’s impressive shooting display. Tied with about 3:00 to go. Omaha knows how to win a close game though. Hang on.

NDSU/USD has been tight too. USD just took a lead with 13:00 to go.

Man I’m bummed this is the last week of regular season play. It’s been a lot of fun tuning in on these ridiculously cold winter nights.

Holy cow, Hahn can't miss!

Re: Summit MBB 2018-19 conference

Obviously everyone wants to win the conference and but I think we also want to avoid Fort Wayne as long as possible and with their loss tonight and an NDSU win their game against each other will decide the 3 and 4 seeds.

ORU doing their part. 33-22, 4:56 left

Could be 2 losses in Ft Wayne today. UND 73 PFW 58 with 11 plus to go.

88-82 win by Fighting Hawks on the road.

Reading the dog board, when did they expunge a loss and create a win? It is quite entertaining for me that a program of that caliber has such little support on a "normal" night, yet the dogs claim they are top tier.

Refs didn't seem to care probably 4 travels on usd that were more then obvious that were not called.

That place down south is looking pretty empty!

If I had to watch Sjerven flailing around on the floor all the time I'd quit coming too. She's decent player but it gets old.

South Dakota/NDSU will have their doubleheader on Midco starting at 5:30. ORU/Omaha doubleheader is likely available on the ORU team website starting at 5 for women. PFW/UND women start at 4 ahead of men. Denver/WIU women go at 1pm and the men come on at 8pm. Doubleheaders galore to end the conference season.

Surprised to see all the doubleheaders on a weeknight. Can't remember seeing much of that before. You have to think that hurts the attendance for the women's games.

Let's go ORU. They're 3.5 point underdogs tonight against Omaha, who has played a lot of close games but have got away with wins in most of them so far.

ORU can't get healthy. Nzekwesi back, and now Kearns is injured again. Going to be tough to beat Omaha without their PG.

Re: Summit MBB 2018-19 conference

Coming down to the end of the season and here is what lies ahead.

1. SDSU 12-2 (USD, Western Ill.)
2. UNO 11-2 (@ NDSU, @ ORU, Denver)
3. PFW 9-5 (UND, NDSU)
4. NDSU 8-5 (UNO, @USD, @PFW)
5. ORU 6-8 (@W Ill, UNO)
6. USD 5-8 (@ SDSU, NDSU, UND)
7. UND 4-9 (Den, @PFW, @USD)
8. W Ill. 3-10 (ORU, @Den, @SDSU)
9. Den 2-11 (@NDSU, W Ill, UNO)

Lots of key matchups to close the regular season. Obviously we'd like to win the outright conference championship and the #1 seed, but need to close out and get some help.
UNO has a tough road stretch, but could go 3-0 and get the #1 seed for the tourney.
PFW is in the driver's seat for the #3 seed.
NDSU needs one win to lock up #4, but could go 0-3 to close out the season.
ORU could finish at 8-8 to potentially tie NDSU, but don't bet on it.
USD could go 2-1 to close out the season and potentially tie ORU in standings.
UND is nearly locked in for the tourney and could lock it up with a victory at home against Denver.
Big game for Western Illinois at Denver. Denver must win that for a chance to go to Sioux Falls.

The game between ORU and Omaha will be an interesting one. If ORU wins, SDSU can win the conference by beating Western Illinois. A win by Omaha would drop ORU to 6-10. That means ORU can either by tied or possibly passed by USD or UND.
USD has both UND and NDSU at home. If they win both of them and ORU loses to Omaha, USD could jump to the 5 seed.
UND is @ Fort Wayne and @ USD so I don't see them winning both.
Denver will probably lose to Omaha but they will need to beat them and Western Illinois to make the tournament. Of course, that would require SDSU to beat Western Illinois, too.
The 1 seed is best because SDSU would probably have NDSU, Oral Roberts and either Western Illinois or Denver.
If SDSU was the 2 seed they would have Fort Wayne, Oral Roberts and UND on their side. I don't like Fort Wayne out of all the teams listed about.
This is just my guess.
